Match report

The Primavera were quick to get going at the Puma House of Football this afternoon, hitting the bar within the opening few minutes. However, they’d not have to wait too long to get ahead thanks to a perfect free kick from Nolli, which Anastasio prodded home.

Cagliari certainly had chances in the first half and arguably should’ve scored at least once, but Costa made some fine saves.

Within 10 minutes of the second half beginning, any doubts of the result being overturned were eliminated, with a red card given to Cagliari and a penalty awarded, which Cullotta fired into the top corner.

Although no more goals followed, it was a solid 35 minutes after that spot kick, with the Diavolo happy to control the game. Nevertheless, it’s a pleasing result and performance.
